❤ Deckbuilding Mechanics

Players start with a basic deck of "Militia" and "Apprentice" cards, which provide the two main currencies - Power and Runes. You use these currencies to acquire more powerful cards from a central board shared by all players. As you add these new cards to your deck, you can draw stronger cards in subsequent turns and generate more of the currencies needed to acquire even better cards.

❤ Deck Customization and Variety

The game features over 600 cards across the base game and 9 expansions, allowing you to explore a huge number of possible card combinations and deckbuilding strategies. Different card types, such as Heroes, Constructs, Mystics, and Monsters, enable you to focus on developing diverse card synergies. Some strategies may revolve around maximizing Power generation, others on Honor point scoring, and others on deck thinning and card draw. This high degree of customization and replayability encourages experimentation with different deck archetypes.

❤ Asymmetrical, Adaptable Play

Rather than each player building their own separate deck, the cards available in the central board are shared among all players. This forces you to constantly adapt your strategy based on the cards available and your opponents' actions. If another player starts acquiring key cards you were hoping to get, you'll need to quickly shift your plans. The shared card pool and unpredictable nature of the central board create a dynamic, reactive gameplay experience.

❤ Accessibility and Approachability

Despite its deep strategic elements, the game's tutorials and simple, intuitive mechanics make it easy for new players to grasp the core concepts quickly. The fast-paced, bite-sized nature of the games means you can enjoy full games in a relatively short amount of time. This approachability, combined with the game's replayability and variety, makes it an excellent entry point into the deckbuilding genre.
